Kurtz Out for All-Star Game | Oakland Athletics News
Description
Shockwaves ripple through baseball as Athletics’ All-Star first baseman Nick Kurtz is sidelined with a thumb capsule strain, jeopardizing his All-Star Game debut and raising eyebrows after he played just yesterday. A monster season—MVP-caliber stats, 260+ OBP, 20 homers, league-leading walks and strikeouts, plus a 48-game on-base streak—is now on hold. The timing stings, especially with teammate Zach Gelof also headed to the IL with a knee injury, forcing a roster shuffle. If Kurtz can’t go, names like Ben Rice and Pete Alonso are in the mix to fill the AL starting spot.
